No trollies!!
You know they have these tills at Tesco's (Henry Street) for small stuff only? Chinese bloke pulls up with a trolley and the girl goes (HUGE Dub accent): "Nahh..no trollies!! No trollies!!"
Judging by the look on yer man's face I'm sure he wasn't all that familier with the Dublin accent.
Felt sorry for him though...

So true!
My wife & I live in South Co. Dublin & we viewed a house in north Co. Wicklow over the weekend when she said to me "You have all the great things about being in the countryside like the freah air and the views,and yet your neighbours will still know what a cappucino is"

No accounting for taste!
My brother wasn't too impressed with the biscuits I gave him along with a cupppa recently - they'd been in the biscuit tin too long and were a bit on the soft side, so he opened a packet of nice crisp gingernuts - and promptly dunked them in his tea!

Bank Raid
Just today my boyfriend phoned his bank to make an enquiry, the bank manager answered the phone and sounded a little flustered. He asked my boyfriend to hold the line as all the assistants were "tied up" for the moment.

D4ishness at it's best
I was in UCD for a debate and this D4 kid comes up in a Ralph Lauren shirt we didn't know what his name was so we called him Charles because he talks like he's 'focking' Prince Charles. So he went up to speak with this proper stiff upper lip English accent. Sounded like he'd been born & raised in England. We asked him what part of England he was from afterwards & he said ''Actually im from Castleknock..'' He also bragged about his Hugo Boss socks...what an odd chap!

The truth comes out...
Sitting in a taxi on the way home from a friends party.
My friend and I got on to the topic of our house cleaners and she, being fairly well on at the time, said:
"I never talk to the helper. You know why? because first you speak to them, and then they start calling you by your first name, and we can't have that !"
before falling asleep with her head on my shoulder.

Chinese girl: "Yes, now where do u live??"
Me: "No do-liver?? do u get me??"
Chinese girl: "Yes we do."
Me: "Ok I'll take 3 then."
So she just stood not knowing what to do while the whole take away was in stiches.

Traffic is a pain
Talking to a guy in work about traffic in town. He said he and noone else he knows would drive in town anymore as parking is awful and they all don't want to risk getting cramps. He said it costs a fortune to have "dem tings removed". I advised a good fart would suffice!

Rover the incredible firefighting dog
I was parking my car on Townsend street, making sure it was well locked up and the steering lock was in place. Another guy pulled up behind me with his large dog in the car. He left the window slightly down for the dog and 2 skanger kids approached him and said...
"'ere mister, gizza fiver and we'll look after your car"
Driver: "Ah no its fine, the dog will look after it for me!"
As he walked away, one of the skanger kids shouted after him
"Mister! Can yer dog put out fires?"
I got a laugh out of this and the guy duly got back into his car and drove off, as did I. A wise move for me, as I didn't have the luxury of a firefighting dog either.

The alternative for video tapes
Allegedly someone in my school put a sandwich in the video player in the library. Since the teacher didn't know who did it, all of the 5th years were blamed cos we were the only ones in the library that morning.
Rachel remarked "If the video player was hungry before, at least it's full now!"
